D:\ Is not accessible, incorrect function

I have an windows xp service pack 3. I never had a problem with burning CDs until now. I usually just put in an empty CD R and open up it up under D: and I would usually just drag my mp3s there and click on "burn onto CD" that's on the panel to the left. Now this time when I put in a brand new cd into the disk drive, it says D:\ is not accessible, incorrect function. So i put in a regular CD that has music to see if it's working and yes the music shows up in the CD and it plays. I then put in another blank new cd and it still says incorrect function. I have no idea what's going with it? I even tried right clicking it and look at properties, and all i see is General, AutoPlay, and Hardware. Please help!

Is it CD or DVD.If it's DVD, your might need to use DVD+R or DVD-R, depending on your DVD burner.The current DVD burner mostly supports both, +R and -R.So if your burner is an old one or a very cheap one, your might have to check for that.

Btw: How did you try to open up the drive with the empty CD in it?Are you using a burning software for it, or simply doubleclick on the drive?A simply doubleclick on that drive will just give you an error message, because there is no TOC (table of contents) on the empty CD.
